The fingerprint reader unlocks the gun in microseconds, but since it may not work when wet or in other adverse conditions, the PIN pad is there as a backup. LodeStar did not demonstrate the near-field communication signal, but it would act as a secondary backup, enabling the gun as quickly as users can open the app on their phones. [More]

Cowardly DSM apparatchik Lawrence O’Donnell spreads the fear-mongering message that “Resistance is futile.” [Watch]
The scenario he presents of armed teachers congregating in the hallway is hardly the only option, nor even a tactically sound or likely one. And his solution is apparently to have “Only Ones” afraid to face one guy with an AR-15 go after the untold millions he wants to ban.

Steven Dettelbach, the newly sworn-in director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said there is no overarching answer to solving the nation’s gun violence, even as guns have become the leading cause of death for children in the U.S. [More]
All by their own selves?
This is how it works: Step one, acquire statistics on firearm-related deaths among children ages 1-14. Step two, combine that relatively low number with the far greater number of firearm-related deaths involving juveniles and young adults ages 15-19, or even ages 15-24. Step three, present the resulting data as the shocking number of “children” (ages 1-19 or 1-24) who are subjected to “gun violence” each day/week/month/year. Step four, use the disingenuous statistic to advocate for pre-determined gun control policies.
Gee, it’s almost like the media are the enemy or something…

Well, that right there tells me I can’t trust a thing that follows. That and blocking access to what AoL considers “extreme,” blaming “racism” i.e. traditional American culture, and adding in a dash of “equity” collectivism…
Besides, when they emphasize “young men and boys,” how are we supposed to define either?
I don’t suppose beating unforgiving woke culture into young skulls from an early age perverts minds and instills an obsession for exacting revenge against institutions perceived as sources of torment…?

“Every gun sold without a completed background check poses a potential risk,” said Rob Wilcox, federal legal director for the gun control advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety. “And these staggering numbers show that we have a serious problem.” [More]
No, the serious problem would be if you could demonstrate the resultant carnage directly produced by this. The fact that you haven’t even cited one (I don’t count Sutherland Springs because time was not a factor, the Air Force withholding information that would have never shown up was), yet according to this there have been over a million “opportunities,” points to the whole purpose of this transparent propaganda piece being to gin up a hysterical demand for more controls on you and me and fewer restraints on government power.
And then they explain “the Charleston Loophole”:
The shooter had admitted to drug possession during a prior arrest, which made it illegal for him to buy or own a gun.
Anybody see Word One about Hunter Biden in all this fine “reporting”?
What else aren’t we told about? You’d think the National Institute of Justice’s 2013 “Summary of Select Firearm Violence Prevention Strategies” would at least rate a mention:
Universal background checks … Effectiveness depends on the ability to reduce straw purchasing, requiring gun registration …
No? What else would we expect from NBC News?

Stop Making Killers Famous [More]
Agreed. Make the @$$holes notorious instead by exposing their collectivist natures. After all, no monster who does this can possibly believe in due process and equal protection, which automatically makes them enemies of freedom advocates (even though the collectivists will throw out terms like “right-wing” to conflate them with traditional culturists.)
What I don’t agree with is withholding their identities for reasons highlighted here. Doing so makes us rely entirely on politically beholden “authorities” and their media allies for an “official” narrative, with social media tech giants erasing any online tracks that might lead to different endpoints. That results in the public being deceived by lies claiming outrageous crap like “Robert ‘Bobby’ Crimo III confirmed to be raging Trump supporter.” Engineered public ignorance is then exploited to gin up demands for gun bans.
So no, I don’t agree that names should be suppressed. Had that effort been more thorough, we would not be able to see for ourselves the following information I have been warned may be considered “law enforcement sensitive” (although I don’t see why):
I suggest if you’re interested in these that you save what you want before someone tries to disappear them.
More, not fewer people should be aware of these because it is our right to investigate claims for ourselves. After all, if the government wanting to keep things under wraps was a showstopper, Gunwalker would still be a state secret.
I submit that suppression is more dangerous than any desire of budding maniacs for fame, there is no credible data showing the behavior of anyone so twisted and evil would be channeled into more benign pursuits, and the most effective thing those wishing to deter mass killers could do would be to stop providing them with unlimited unarmed-by-law victim pools.
I do not know who is behind the photo/video site (it is registered through a proxy) and note that it also contains a text link I won’t post here that is extremely racist, offensive, and vile. The home page also links to an essay by someone who has developed a similar reputation for himself.
I share Mike Vanderboegh’s contention that racism– judging a person’s worth by anything other than their ideology and conduct as an individual — reveals anyone doing so to be a collectivist, that is, my enemy. That said, the information I have linked to appears to be authentic. That’s something those with the inclination and ability to verify things wouldn’t be able to do if we didn’t know where to start if we followed the advice we started this post with that no one with real reach is going to listen to anyway.
You know, the “real reporters” all parroting the narrative…

Not being a highly trained NBC “real reporter,” I’m wondering what I’m missing here. Or what Safia Samee Ali and David K. Li are. VPC’s been counting on media dolts since 1988:
The weapons’ menacing looks, coupled with the public’s confusion over fully automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons—anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gun—can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons.

It should be noted that truth is by no means the only word whose meaning has been changed recently in order for it to serve as an instrument of propaganda; others include freedom, justice, law, right, equality, diversity, woman, pandemic, vaccine, etc. This is highly concerning, because such attempts at the “perversion of language, the change of meaning of the words by which the ideals” of the ruling class are expressed is a consistent feature of totalitarian regimes.
